The Taliban is not going to be able to create what it wants because of human nature. Fundamentalist Islam works for some but not enough for all. A compromise will have to be found because economics will be inadequate. I think China wants to help but some of its Uighurs went to Afghanistan for training and came back to China to blow up markets.
The US captured about twenty of them in fights in Afghanistan and sent them to Guantanamo and later released them to Albania even though China wanted them for trials in China. So much for the US fighting terrorism.

It looks like it was fifteen years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq3nXCsW2z8
That would have been on Dubya's watch.
China wanted those guys to help find other al-Qaeda operatives in China but the US just said no and sent them to Albania.

Most likely both the charges against China and those against the Uighurs are true...

If you have eleven million Uighurs, you are going to have some who support fundamentalist Islam and want to spread it. Those are the ones that you want reeducated and taught that laws in China must be followed.
China is a Communist country so it can't discriminate against any ethnicity, practically by definition. Read the lyrics to the Internationale. The only race is the human race.
